Du'ers who are Costco members, how's that working for you?

97. What I like best is their frozen fish

I live in the desert southwest, and it's the only way to get good ocean fish. Costco buys fish that is flash frozen as soon as it is caught and cleaned, right on the boat. It's also the only place in town to buy dried mango.

Like you, I have no place to store 36 rolls of toilet tissue, so I don't buy that. However, their Kirkland products are superior, everything from cookies to cleaning products.

Costco has been a decent deal for me because there are things they sell like the fish that you just can't get elsewhere in this town. You do have to buy things in bulk, but if they are the things that last, like canned goods, light bulbs, and soaps, they can be very good deals. I bought a small freezer to hold things like fish and the occasional too good to pass up deal on cheese, butter, or frozen foods.

The best thing to do your first time there is to walk the aisles and see what they sell (almost everything) and make lists of things you could actually use so you'll know what you can get there.
